Cynthia Nixon: Marijuana is “Effectively Legal” For White People
Nixon has already been a champion of the Democratic party, an advocate for LGBTQ rights, and a public education activist, and her latest stand is yet another one we can get behind in calling out drug criminalization that disproportionately affects people of color.
"Today, the Working Families Party voted to endorse two visionary candidates who will transform NY into a progressive leader and put the power back into the hands of the people, not just a wealthy few". She made the announcement last week, however now she is the news for her support of recreational marijuana legalization. The Working Families Party endorsement could give her a ballot line in the November general election even if Cuomo wins the Democratic nomination. As a long-time advocate for progressive values, Cynthia is committed to fight for a better, more equal NY. WFP also voted to back Councilman Jumaane Williams (D-Brooklyn) for lieutenant governor over current LG Kathy Hochul.
"I am so incredibly excited to have earned the endorsement from the Working Families Party, the heart & soul of communities across the state".
There is nothing Twitter progressives love more than a quality pro-weed troll coming from an older politician. Though technically a separate party, it tends to endorse and support progressive candidates from the major parties.
Cuomo campaign spokeswoman Abbey Fashouer said the governor's "record of progressive accomplishment is unmatched".
The vote was taken by more than 175 members of the party's state committee. Despite the attention here campaign's received online, most polls show her trailing Cuomo by almost 50 points.
Cuomo's campaign announced that it would not seek the Working Families Party's endorsement this year.
